Chapter 784:
Bella clenched her teeth in frustration. Damn it! Yelena had misled her.
Tears welled up in Bella’s eyes as she looked at Yelena, looking betrayed. “I’m sorry. I was just so frightened. I thought you might hit me. That’s why… I know you don’t like me, which is why you don’t trust me. But I genuinely don’t understand what’s going on p>
Just then, Jarvis approached and intervened, “The phone is mine. Yelena, I did all this because I dislike you p>
“What?” As soon as Jarvis spoke, the room plunged into chaos. Yelena’s gaze hardened as she shot a sharp glare at Jarvis, her face twisting into a frown.
Yelena was moments away from revealing Bella’s lies when Jarvis intervened, throwing her plans into disarray.
Bella gave Jarvis a surprised look. She hadn’t expected him to go to such lengths for her. “Jarvis, you p>
Before Bella could say more, Jarvis quickly interjected, “Bella, I slipped the phone into your purse without you noticing. I’m sorry. It wasn’t meant to go this far p>
Bella felt a rush of relief at having a scapegoat. She wasn’t about to let this chance slip away.
Bella cast a sad glance at Jarvis and, with a touch of irony that only she understood in her voice, said, “Jarvis, you’re so silly p>
Jarvis returned Bella’s gaze. He figured it wasn’t a serious matter for him to take the blame. After all, he was Elianna’s grandson, and she wouldn’t be harsh on him.
Bella was a different story. Jarvis knew if she were to confess her actions, she would be forced to leave the Harris family.
Jarvis didn’t want Bella to face that fate. He was prepared to shoulder the blame for her, regardless of her actions.

A smug smile briefly crossed Bella’s lips as she looked at Jarvis.
“You fool p>
Kaiden was boiling with rage. Whether Jarvis had actually done it or was merely covering for Bella, he was being incredibly foolish.
Jarvis clenched his lips and bowed his head, staring silently at his feet. Kaiden, notorious for his short temper, was on the verge of slapping Jarvis.
But before Kaiden could even land a slap on his son, his arm was blocked. Kaiden turned to see who it was and was shocked to find Callum gripping his wrist.
Kaiden exclaimed, “Callum, don’t hold me back! I need to set this brat straight p>
Callum looked at his brother and said, “Make sure you hit him hard.” Callum was convinced that since Jarvis had the nerve to mistreat Yelena, he must face the consequences.
Kaiden was slightly taken aback.
He then slapped Jarvis on the back of his head. Dina saw it happen and felt a wave of pity for her son, but she stayed quiet, recognizing that Jarvis was at fault.
But Jarvis wasn’t about to stay and take more hits. After the slap, he sprinted across the banquet hall.
Kaiden was furious. He chased after Jarvis, gasping with anger and shouting, “You little coward, don’t you dare run p>
